Treatment with mobilization 10 days after reduction of moderately displaced distal radius fractures resulted in a few treatment failures compared with none among controls. The only functional benefit for the remaining patients was a small and transient increase in range of motion at the 1-month follow-up. Plaster cast removal 10 days after reduction in moderately displaced distal radius fractures is therefore not recommended.
